 BECOME A FAN NOW!!!!!!!!

| Having been a fan of the Slip when I accidentaly heard a track off of From The Gecko on a late night radio show in Colorado, I finally was able to see them live in Vail Colorado years later (I desperately wanted to hear Alson). Seeing the Slip live is a fantastic experience! The experimentation with instruments and sounds is so different live! Eisenhower is addicting, and I cant wait till the next release......Surprise me Mr. Davis! |

Indie pop heaven

How this band is not more well-known is beyond me. Even after the sublime "Life in Disguise" was featured on Grey's Anatomy, their popularity didn't really take off - though, that's not necessarily a bad thing for fans since this is the type of band that you almost want to horde for yourself. Beautifully created indie "lo-fi" style music, infused with a real pop sensibility. This is a band that doesn't shy away from pop hooks and melody, while keeping their lyricism and unfettered instrumentation.
Buy this album. Seriously. |

I heard the first track (Children of December) on the radio one morning, and later that day I bought the CD--an unusual action for me. But the song sounded that good.
Then I gave the rest a listen. My reaction: Okay. That was after my first listen. Now, over 100 listens later, I am beginning to understand this album. And what I understand thus far is that these 11 songs have changed me. I am not sure how or why, but I am no longer satisfied by any of the music that I was satisfied with before, or that is being produced/played these days. And realizing this truth has frustrated me.
Where's the other good music?!
In Eisenhower, The Slip have produced a work that is reminiscent of Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Wilco, The Beatles, etc. It is surely a concept album, but what exactly the concept is eludes me--and I am glad. This gives me room to imagine and tack my own meaning to the songs.
The stand-out songs? I like the melancolia I find in Paper Birds--a song that also, in its drawnout, sing-along finish, serves to connect all the other songs on the album (Paper Birds is the 11th song)--and in Suffocation Keep; I like The Soft Machine and Mothwing Bite; I like Airplane/Primitive. But the jams, the 3 guys playing off each other, is just so fine! Here these guys have perfected their jazz/rock/acoustic fusion jam like never before.
Have I said too much? No. Take a listen, and then keep listening. Their sound grows, until you will be anxiously awaiting their next release.
About their earlier efforts: they don't compare to Eisenhower. The earlier efforts definitely have their moments, but the boys (3 brothers, 2 blood) have grown up musically, so don't wait--pick up a copy of Eisenhower today...and tell a friend to do the same. |

 The Slip?

| I bought this CD for the first 2 songs in hopes the rest of the CD would be equally as good. It's not. After repeated listening, the CD runs out of steam quickly. |
